Ok, I do understand. I didn't know you already had a male in mind to use as stud.
To answer your question, no, I would not breed a female at this age.
For one, older dogs have a harder time recoverying from anesthisia, so in the event that she should have to have a c-section, she is more at risk for complications. Also, older females have a higher risk of neonatal fatalities.
